Monoamine oxidase A-uVNTR genotype affects limbic brain activity in response to affective facial stimuli.

Neuroreport - 26 Mar 2008

Lee Byeong-Taek, Ham Byung-Joo

Abstract excerpt

Monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) enzymatically degrades biogenic amines such as norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotonin, and plays a key role in the regulation of their neurotransmission. Allelic variations at the MAOA locus have been implicated in the neurobiology of aggression and impulsivity. We investigated the possible relationship between the MAOA-upstream variable number of tandem repeats (uVNTR) polymorphism...
